“GET THE KALE CEASAR SALAD!!! I love their pizza but I go for the salad. This restaurant has such a great atmosphere and their menu is very accommodating. Everything on the menu is delicious and if you are strong enough to leave room for dessert, you will be extremely happy. Their cookie and their brownie come in a cast iron skillet and tase homemade and the ice cream and whipped cream make it even more delicious.“

“great ambient [Original] great ambient“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“Absolutely LOVE Campground!!! Fun, casual scene, comfortable inside & outdoor spaces and terrific Matcha! Also, the management is truly community minded- they compost coffee grinds and allow a space for pumpkin drop-off in November. What’s not to love?!!!🌱“

“We had an amazing experience at Dagim in Great Neck! We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and they truly went above and beyond to make the night feel special. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service made the entire experience even better.

A special thank you to our waiter, Roman, who was fantastic from start to finish. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. He really helped make my wife’s birthday celebration memorable.

Highly recommend Dagim for great food, excellent service, and a special night out. We’ll definitely be back!“

“a creative atmosphere that transports you back in time! Dozens of specialty themed Cocktails with amazing bartenders, live music, fun and creative events, celebrity performances and appearances, and more!“

“This place may be small in square footage, but it's overflowing with charm. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and beautifully designed—it's the kind of restaurant that makes you want to linger over one more drink.
I've been here several times, and the lamb is absolutely outstanding. My only two requests? A slightly larger menu (because I want even more excuses to come back) and martini glasses that are a little more generous. A cocktail this good deserves a little extra real estate.
Those minor wishes aside, this spot is a gem. Great food, great ambiance, and one of those places you'll happily return to again and again.“

“I’ve known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell’s Kitchen, and walking into their new spot felt like no time had passed at all—in the best way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can’t fake—the genuine warmth. They’ve created that rare “locals welcome” atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations—not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place.

This spot is an absolute gem. If you’re anywhere nearby—whether you’re heading to a show or just looking for a great night out—do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll understand immediately why people keep coming back.

And honestly? The only downside is that they’re no longer in Hell’s Kitchen… because I’d be there all the time.“

“My husband and I ate there tonight. Whenever we go, the food is always spot on delicious. The beef stew and chicken pot pie were comforting and filling! Thank you Rob for all the love you put into your meals!“

“Great spot, great food, excellent service!“

“To Kayla, the Bartender

Behind the bar where laughter flows,
Kayla shines, and everyone knows.
With steady hands and a welcoming smile,
She makes every visit worthwhile.

She remembers faces, names, and drinks,
Always one step ahead, quicker than you think.
Mixing more than cocktails in every glass,
She pours kindness that always lasts.

No matter how busy the evening may be,
She treats every guest like VIP.
Turning ordinary nights into memories to keep,
Creating moments that run more than skin deep.

So here’s to Kayla, one of a kind,
With talent, heart, and a generous mind.
May every toast be raised in her name,
Because every bar is better with Kayla’s flame.“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“The food was delicious and many entrees to choose from we were a group of six“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“great intimate venue. wonderful array of music“

“Great bar! Love going there. Excellent bartenders and they have fantastic events and parties. And since they bought DiMaggios next door the food has taken a step up from their normally great food and specials. The place looks really nice, too! The people who go there are wonderful... stop in for a drink and food. You will not be disappointed and don't forget your darts.“

“Everything was amazing from the service to the food and the drinks ... was a great experience ... loved my "Sailawaytini" 🍸 best drink ever. Loved our server Edwin he was amazing and very attentive.. definitely will be our go to spot with friends♥️“

“10/10 for all the best people working at Time Out ♥️ This is very much a local spot where you’re guaranteed great service and great food and drinks! Lots of good atmosphere, pool table, darts, great game and music selection!“

“The best. The girls take care of me. If I lived in Mineola I go here every day. I used to live in Mineola and go there but now I live in Greece.“

“Edwrds headlined at OEJ‘s yesterday and overall we had a fabulous show. Good was delicious and the drinks and shots were delicious!! Great bartender who kept up with us all. Pete and Juan run a really clean venue that is perfect for Artists who are looking for a a place that holds roughly 40-50 people easily and still be comfortable. There is also a patio in back with tables for people for the warmer months. We will be back!!“

“Great service and great food ! Beautiful outdoor space w fireplace“

“I’ve been coming to this bar since last year, and it’s always a great experience. The environment is welcoming, relaxed, and fun. The bartenders are very nice, polite, and make you feel right at home.

They also have karaoke nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which are always a blast. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time with great service.“

“Good Company Tavern is the kind of place that’s becoming harder and harder to find.

In a world full of chain restaurants and cookie-cutter bars, this tavern still feels like a true neighborhood gathering place. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by old New York character—the beautiful woodwork, stained glass, historic bar, and stories that seem to live within the walls themselves.

What I appreciate most is that this isn’t just a bar; it’s a piece of local history. You can feel the generations of people who have passed through here. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, a conversation, or just to soak in the atmosphere, there’s a genuine sense of “ Good company “ at the Good Company Tavern.

If you appreciate old-school Queens charm, local history, and a place with real personality, do yourself a favor and stop in. Places like this deserve to be supported and preserved for future generations.“

“great place to hang out with friends. Staff is awesome. I recommend this place“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“First time eating here best Portuguese food in a long time!“

“Think of the last time you were in some little beach town or ski village and stumbled on a totally non-contrived bar that only the locals know about. Now imagine that bar was plucked right out of that place and put in the middle of Rye. That's The Pub. It's a hole-in-the-wall dive bar that's perfectly out of place in Rye. The bartender has a heavy hand, the drinks are cheap, and it's the ideal location to catch up with an old friend.“

“The food was incredible. Everyone enjoyed their meal.“

“Love BHT:)...and the best corned beef and cabbage ever...“

“First-time visit. Food was delicious and the bartender/server, Peter, was friendly and efficient. Observing other patrons, all seemed to be quite pleased. I’ll be back😊“

“Always a Delicious Meal and Cocktails! Friendly and Attentive service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great service and even better memory. Highly recommended.“

“After being rudely treated at Your Mother’s House, my friends and I impulsively decided to stop by Angry Gnome to finish watching the Knicks game and celebrate our friend’s birthday, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the bouncer and the owner, Harry, were kind, and accommodating.

I had brought a birthday cake with me and asked Harry if it would be okay to bring it out, and not only did he say yes, but he even helped me cut the cake and pass it around to everyone. That level of kindness and hospitality truly stood out and completely turned our night around.

The vibes here were amazing, everyone in the bar was friendly, and the atmosphere felt genuinely welcoming and fun. Thank you to Harry and the staff for making our friend’s birthday fun. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Friendly hangout with great bunch of guys and girls.“

“This place was AMAZING! The service was on point and they definitely made you feel at home! We’re from Charlotte and came for the weekend. Went there on a Friday and everything was so good we came back Saturday night. Love this place and love the guys that work there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!“

“Food was really good. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!“

“Deeelucious food. Hot, fresh, tasty, what more can I say after 25 years of eating here“

“We enjoyed Friday evening here and found the place to be pleasant and staff to be friendly.

The service is quick, and the bar is well stocked.

Located in the pleasant neighborhood, the menu here is reasonably good.

It's not recommended for food, but drinks options are great.

What deserves a special mention?
It's quiet and a visit is pleasant here.

What could be better?
Food options. And, it is always good to provide the menu right away when guests arrive. Not everyone is visiting just for a beer. Some prefer an experience.“

“Service is friendly and attentive. Food is good, but expect to pay premium. Look ahead at the menu so you know what to expect. Parking lot accessible via William Street. Far walk for anyone with any impairment. There is a cut-through walkway from the lot to the restaurant but you still have to walk all the way to the front to gain access. Outdoor seating is lovely. Music is played at at level where it's easy to hold conversation and you don't have to talk above it. Always a good idea to phone ahead for a reservation.

Overall I liked this restaurant and the ambiance, and I've been to similar restaurants, but felt this was a bit expensive for my taste. Personal Pizza was $19 and honestly nothing special in my opinion. The Chicken cutlet was delicious but didn't come with anything, no sauce/side, so that's all it was (just to give you some points of reference).“

“Multicultural, Friendly fast service.. Mo& Sha are the best!!“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“
